It’s official: Maynard James Keenan has completed recording his vocal parts for Tool’s wildly anticipated fifth studio album. Keenan confirmed the news in a tweet, adding that Puscifer will come out with new material in 2020.

Keenan tweeted, "Update- Final vocals tracked MONTHS ago. Then U.S.-UK-Euro run w #APC. If Tool all inst are tracked, long process of Mixing now. Meanwhile write/film/track w @puscifer for #puscifer2020 & troll the band FBs with wine posts. #funnyshit #whileyouwerewhiningiwasworking"
